Ghostbusters Afterlife Behind The Scenes

The Ghostbusters are back and in Ghostbusters: Afterlife, we get the best of both worlds. Filming this movie was an epic feat and a total family affair - especially since the director and writer is none other than Jason Reitman, the son of the creator of the franchise - Ivan Reitman. This wasn’t the only family connection though - the old cast came back to be part of the movie and their connections were extremely strong - for the actors new to the Ghostbusters world, it felt like joining a big, happy family.
It wasn’t all easy though - Bill Murray really felt the difference filming all these decades later, realizing that carrying around a very heavy proton pack was far from comfortable. Luckily he decided to go all-in and be part of the ride - off the bat he wasn’t too sure about reprising his role but reading the script managed to change his mind.
While the movie was filmed a couple years before its release, the whole project has been quite hush-hush since day one - Stranger Things alumni Finn Wolfhard almost passed on the audition because he had no idea what the project was - thankfully he took a leap of faith! The actor totally committed to his role, but unfortunately, he wasn’t able to pass his driving tests, so he didn’t end up driving the Ecto-1 himself. Chance did major Ghostbusters fan, Josh Gad, quite the favor - the actor ran into Jason Reitman in the Sony parking lot which led to Gad voicing the new ghost in the movie!
The old, the new, the practical effects, the story…. Everything comes together in Ghostbusters: Afterlife to create an amazing throwback to the classic franchise.

Today’s the day! Who’s watching it?! 🍿

[@andyfenton9554]

I watched it yesterday haha

[@valerie7797]

I watched it last night! SO GOOD!

[@marthagill7575]

I did on the 19

[@dbsti3006]

Watched it yesterday. As a 1984 Ghostbusters kid, I can honestly say that the GB logo should just hold up a three with the fingers, and drop the name Afterlife. This is the sequel.

[@No-one-that-you-know]

I don’t want spoilers but I want to watch this

[@kellyscott4719]

Very heart warming to honor Harold he was my fav char. the ending was tear jerker for me hard to believe it’s been 30 year since I seen the first

[@thedazedbandman]

I haven’t felt so emotionally connected to a movie or characters in awhile, but you’re not alone there. I’m still shocked one of the after credits is partly a deleted scene from GB1!!! I need to watch them all very soon now!

[@SYBuses]

I agree, Spengler was a good ghostbuster

[@TwinLitz2]

Me too

[@robertpeirce83]

Agreed

[@dinosutra]

They tried to kill and bury the nostalgia in 2016 but the nostalgia came back, even stronger than before and conquered the destined path... Thank You Jason Reitman...

[@NatRomanoff58]

I honestly don't think they could've done anything better. The cast, the effects, and the tribute to Harold Ramis was just perfection. Such a fun and emotional movie.

[@cinnomix]

i agree! i really loved it a lot being a big fan of the og

[@jamesrader3329]

I've seen it 3 times. Lived it each time. Perfect 10 in my eyes

[@cjtheevilghost5711]

I watched *Ghostbusters Afterlife* the day it hit theaters. I teared up quite a bit when Ghost Egon appeared and even more when *For Harold* popped up.

[@KHayes666]

Same. It was the heroes send-off that Harold/Egon both deserved.

[@tylerselin7326]

When I went to go see this movie, the part where the kids are in the jail cell the girl brought up that they get one phone call and then the cop said "who you gonna call?" everyone in the theater said quietly "ghost busters"

[@derekbailey7049]

Why the fuck is all the footage backwards?

[@abigailaustin8444]

this movie now has my heart. just watched it tonight at the movie theaters. love how they ended it with "for Harold" !

[@RyanLombergini]

Behind the scenes videos are the best too see what they go through and how they film certain scenes different from others.

[@TheThings]

Yes they’re usually very interesting 😍

The new ghostbuster with a stranger things character
What an amazing combo

I really loved the movie!

[@thedazedbandman]

Ok, I can’t be the only one that’s sees McKenna looking exactly like Bernadette from Big Bang Theory.
Also-LOVE this new movie!!! It’s so great =)

[@stickboy2672]

She's like if Sheldon Cooper and Wednesday Addams had a kid.

[@katfayegarrett3872]

Now I actually want to see it! After the last disaster I thought I was done with the franchise!👍🍿💙

[@TheThings]

Yes! Let us know how it goes 😍

[@JohnDoe-nz6bk]

It's awesome!

[@dbsti3006]

You won't be disappointed. Just pay close attention to Egons EKG machine at the beginning.

[@billykiyay]

And stick around for two end credits scenes. The 2016 disaster is not canonical, afterlife is a direct sequel 👍

[@thedazedbandman]

If you love the originals, I’ll be surprised if you DONT enjoy this one =)

[@RyanLombergini]

Ghostbusters!
If there's something strange
In your neighborhood
Who you gonna call?

If there's something weird
And it don't look good
Who you gonna call?

Running through your head
Who can you call?

An invisible man
Sleepin' in your bed
Ow, who you gonna call?

I ain't 'fraid of no ghost

[@dbsti3006]

I love the Sheriff at the jail. Phoebe wanted one phone call. He said "who you gonna call?" She literally called a Ghostbuster.

[@OriolesFan515]

I literally just went to the movie theater to watch ghostbuster after life it was amazing so many people will laughing

[@mattcullen481]

Harold ramis/egon, my favorite character i cried at the end so much.

Right-man, not reet-man lol. Also, it's a Wal-Mart, not a mall.

This is a fun and truly 3rd Ghostbusters,and was beautiful seeing all 4 original Busters,be one a ghost,but I do hope they put it to bed now,and not milk the move franchise to death This is a fun and truly 3rd Ghostbusters,and was beautiful seeing all 4 original Busters,be one a ghost,but I do hope they put it to bed now,and not milk the move franchise to death ,as so many loved films franchise's.

Awesome Movie!

[@kinghawaiian9736]

a few days before I went to gonsee Ghostbusters afterlife I got to see the original 3cto 1 from the original Ghostbusters. Its at a place called star cars in Tennessee. It amazing and it is signed by Dan Aykroyd.

[@markthomas6236]

I love what you do

[@emingamihu2835]

It's amazing movie 😇😇
And I like Phoebe 💕💕💕💕

[@Bella_boo3]

The host busters after life was super good I recommend

[@lordvenjix3757]

Amazing video 👍

[@abimaelgonzalez3946]

(SPOILER ALERT) Cuando los vi me dio un poco ganas de llorar 😢 Volverlos a ver juntos después de más de 30 años a casi 40 años desde la primera película fue lo mejor sobre todo el gran honor y homenaje que le brindaron a Harold creando con CGI a Egon Spengler. Definitivamente está versión si fue un placer de ver y fue un gran tributo hacia ellos, con esta película ya las declaro una gran trilogía ❤

[@lukeharperistrash2914]

In my country its called ghostbusters from beyond

[@maouliamediaofficial]

Makes sense, since one of the characters helped from beyond the grave

Anybody though that in the thumbnail McKenna was Harry Potter for a sec?

Sorry, you lost me on the pronunciation of Reitman. You could re-record the audio though.

I just watched it and unfortunatell is exactly what i thought.
When there is a second part of a great movie,its a risk. Second Ghostbusters were amazing.
With Afterlife, unfortunatelly after 10 minuts of the movie,i knew it was waste of time and ticket money:-(
I am sure they tried hard,but the actors,story and dialogues are just so not real and dumb🙏🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️and i think the theme should have never been touched after the fisrt two successes😢
